Taylor County residents are invited to take an 11-day inspirational tour of Israel and Jordan.

Dr. Scott Wigginton, professor of pastoral ministries and counseling at Campbellsville University, said the group will be leaving from Nashville, Tenn., on an overnight flight to Jordan on March 1. They will arrive back home on March 11.

From cleaning gutters to fixing storm doors to providing school supplies, Pastor Jamie Bennett says a lot of great things have been happening since the congregation of Green River Memorial Baptist Church has made taking care of its members a main priority.

With each Sunday school class being encouraged to take on individual ministry projects, Bennett says the church has realized the value of working from within.

Fifty years after the assassination of president John F. Kennedy, Campbellsville University's TV channel WLCU will air an interview with Dr. Damon Eubank, chair of the Division of Social Science and professor of history, and Dr. Wendy Davis, associate professor of History, about the assassination and its effect on America.

The church is the only organization Larry "Fella" Wilson, senior minister at Woodlawn Christian Church, knows of whose members' main purpose is to serve those who are not members. He said churches today are realizing the importance of taking care of the community outside of the church.

Wilson said the No. 1 role of every church is to lead a community to salvation. But in order to get a person outside the church to come inside, Wilson said Christians must be willing to go outside and get them.
